    Descripción

    No.1 on the list of Sierra Leones' top visitor attractions, this Sanctuary sits on the edge of the country's capital. Surrounded by forest but just a short ride from bustling Freetown with its markets and beaches, we are ideally situated for an unforgettable experience.

    The organization's primary mission is to advocate for Sierra Leones' national animal, the Chimpanzee. We promote community conservation through education and livelihood support, proactively protect the National Parks alongside the NPA, support law enforcement through animal confiscations, and provide lifelong sanctuary to over 120 Chimpanzees.

    The organisation primarily employs local staff to run its centre, located just outside Freetown and its community outreach programs.

    Staff enjoy onsite accommodation including breakfast, lunch and dinner provided by the team of local cooks.

    The showers might be cold, but the atmosphere is warm and welcoming.
